what's wrong with ports/net/wol?


wake(8) is smaller and it is actually something needed in base. in modern, ecological "green computing" environments we put the client machines, like our POS terminals to sleep at night. In the morning, a cronjob from the central server wakes up all machines using this command. more and more systems support it, so havin a wake command in base is just about right.
